LABORERS' DISPUTE,
a Fight About tho Use of Now Cotton
Presses In New Orleans,

NEW ORLEANS, March 2G.--For some
time there has been trouble In the ranks
of laborers engaged In handling cotton
in this city. The Cottonmcn's Council
split into the old council and the new
council. The trouble grew out of the
fight which was made on the independ.
ent cotton presses, which proposed to
reduce press charges while paying reg.
ular wages. The new council excluded
press owners and other employers,
while the old council allowed such en-.
ployers as were already represented to
remain In the organization. Yesterday
the trouble eliminated In the strike of
the new council, which stopped work
at all but Two of the cotton presses in
the city. Members of the old council
claim that the move Is in the nature of
boycott against the colorcd people,
who are In the majority In the old
council. They claim that they work
at union rates and perform their duties
faithfully. Between 5000 and 5000
workingmen are directly interested in
the result of the contest.

Rcmnrknblc Enfth Cure.

kokoMo, lSp, March .G An astonish.
ing faith cure has just been wrought
through the efficacy of prayer at the Mis-
sion Church In this city, during q prayer
service led by j. +. shutters. Mrs. j. A.
llermon, who has been paralyzed invalid,
and has not walked step for six years,
was carried by friends TO the meeting. AZ
ter three hours OF ferveut supplcation In
her behalf by a large audience of faithful
Christian workers, the Rev. Mr.. Shutters
took Mrs. lIermon by the arm and walked
twice across the church with her. Then
addressing her he said: "My sister, have
faith In Jesus and walk alone,' and to the
Joy OF her friends she walked, shouting, up
and down the aises of the church. The
service closed at midnight with grand ju-
bilee. After the meeting was over Mrs.
Hermon walked to her home, distance of
three squares. She was visited at her home
by q reporter, to whom she stated that she
had not been able to take step for six
years, and that she was perfectly free from
pain, with the exception OF a tingling SEN
sation in one of her knees. To prove that
there was no deception about the matter,
she walked about the room In the presence
of the reporter. The cure is the al-absorb-
ing theme OF conversation In church circles

The Arthur Memorial window.

In ST. Johns Episcopal Church (Rev. DIR.
Leonard's), Lafayette Square, is a very
beautiful memorial window (main south
one), erected by the late President Arthur
to the memory of his wife, who was
daughter Of the heroic Captain Herndon of
the steamship Central America fame, and
native Of Fredericksburg, Va. Mrs. Arthur
was communlcant OF old ST. Johns, was
confirmed and married within its sacred
portals, and the memorial there is very
appropriate work OF respect to the memory
OF one Of Nirgnia's loveliest daughters,
The inscription blown in the glass, by direc-
tion OF President Arthur, reads:
$40 the Glory OF God aud in Mem Dry OF
Ellen Lewis Herndon Arthur. Entered into
Life, January IL, 1850"
Underneath, on the sill OF the window, Is
a full.lergth brass plate, which speaks for
itself

The schuctzcn vcrcin Masquerade.

Many children with dancing eyes aud
prancing feet crowded into Abner's Hall last
night, and enjoyed themselves with the
characteristic abandon of light years and
lighter cares. 1t was the children's mas
querade ball Of the Schuetzeu Verein, and
the youths and maidens who call the "Fader-
laDd' their home made good use Of the time
The affair was most successful, the commit
tee OF arrangements being Messrs. William
Helmus, II. Kronheimer, Il. Springsguth,
Edward W. Koch, Fred IL. Vogt. Mr. Will

Goodbye. SWEET DAY.

Goodbye, sweet day, 20 od.bye
have SO loved thee, but ! cannot hold
thee,
Departing, like dream, the shadows
fold thee;
Slowly thy perfect beauty fades away;
Good-bye, sweet day
Goodbye, sweet day, good-byel
Dear were thy golden hours OF tranquil
splendor;
Sadly thou yieldest to the evening tender,
Who vert so fair from thy first morning

Goodbye, sweet day
Goodbye, sweet day, goodbye
Thy glow and charm, thy smiles and

Vanish at last, and solemn night ad-

All, couldst thou yet a little longer stay
Goodbye, sweet day
Goodbye, sweet day, goodbye
All thy rich gifts my grateful heart re-

The while watch thy sunsets shoulder
Ing embers
Die In the west beneath the twilight gray.

it leads to most elegant mansion built in Queen Anne style, and coating from 426,- GOO to $80, 900. Its exterior is model of architectural beauty, while the interior ex. hibits an unstinted outlay of wealth in its cherry finish and modern appliances of comfort and convenience. Near the house is situated sizable building designed for q, laundry. Farther down the read near the railroad is a substantial barn nearly 100 feet long with an l., running ct an angle toward the railroad, 100 feet or more in length. It has comfortable and com. nodiols stables underneath, and has Q Ca- pacity for holding 100 or more tons of hays Near the barn is hennery built with all modern appliances. Near by is Q piggery of no meager dimensions, while north ol this is to be creamery and ice-house. In bis outlay of wealth MT. Reynolds seem to study comfort and convenience, as is every where plainly visible. Midway between the barn and house is situated the dwell ing house designed for the foreman of the farm. which is a model building, very un- like too many erected for workmon, and connmsnds itself to every employee. 1t is occupied by Samuel P. Swift, the present foreman, whose efficiency and fsithfulnesa wins the confidence and high esteem of h1s employer. .
 Among the leading attractions of this celebrated manor is the continuous walls of skilled masonry, which not only en- closes the entire farm running from high way to river. but sub.divides it into sec- tions. The cost of these solid fences was over SIG, 900, and were they built to stay.
 MT. Reynolds Is a prominent engineer. whose rare skill as such is eagerly sought after. and commands almost fabulous prices. He is man of wealth, having an income equal to, if not greater, than the president of the United States. But his wealth is used unstintedly in the improve ments about his country seat he loves % well. He is also person of prominence, being closely identified with the interests of the celebrated pneumatic gun, 90 re- gently and successfully experimented with in New York harbor, he having been the inventor of all the main features of the gun and he is also interested in the man. ufaeture of guns for the Italian govern ment, capable of throwing 1000 pound dynamite shells.

MANSFIELDo
SRING MANOR.

A short distance north of the Mansfield station. on the line of the New London Northern railroad, a great change has talk en place during the past seven years.
 Previous to 1880 this tract of land, cOm- prising several acres, was wild waste,
 and very unattractive, showing faint signs of former prosperity under the hands of early owners. Yet but little remained to remind the ''oldest inhabitant" of it's early state of cultivation, except lots enclosed by tumbled.down walls and overgrown with brush, with forest of timber growth upon the side hill. Less than a decade ago MT. Geo. H. Reynolds, of New York, one of Mansfeld's sons, conceived the idea of forming . summer residence in his na- tive town, and consequently chose this TO- mantic spot, despite the wonder and sur prise of the surrounding inhabitants at what they considered an unwise act, but, in answer to respected queries, his reply was in defence of his choice, that many happy days had been spent by him in boy. hood life in that very section, and in the wild woods where he frolicked in youth, with such unalloyed pleasure, he selected spot for a country residence. In 1880 he commenced the work of carrying out his cherished plans, and & ride over the New London road, which divides his farm, gives the traveller some idea of the pro
 gress of that work since that date, and the decided improvements are the admiration of passers by. But, in order to get thor
 ough knowledge of what has been accom-
 plished since his ownership, the visitor needs to take atrip over the highway lead ing from ManSfeld to Morrow, where
 about widway, line of handsomely faced stone wall stretches along on the west side of the road for half-mile or more, while on the opposite side Is substantial fenCs stretching like distance, with gateway marked by huge stone towers.
